President Trump met Friday with some of the victims shot in a rifle assault at a Parkland, Fla., high school, vowing to confront school safety problems and "the hard issue of mental health".

On Wednesday, a 19-year-old shooter entered the Parkland high school fired at least 150 rounds, killing 17 people. They say a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun.

They say no laws could have prevented the hundreds of senseless tragedies that have occurred.

Discussion about stricter gun laws has resurfaced after the nation's deadliest school shooting in more than five years.

Child services said he had new injuries and said he planned to buy a gun, but authorities determined he was already receiving adequate support, the reports say.

Gonzalez's speech, in which she cried shame on "every politician taking donations from the NRA", quickly went viral on social media. "I want to congratulate them", Trump said. "Get back to the basics and make us all proud!" "I'll never forget that, and for you to do something like that is wonderful and shows what you think of law enforcement, and we appreciate it".

"I have such empathy for those parents and the students I remember how it felt and I didn't lose anybody", said Woodward.
